On a nice street with a lot of different types of shops, this is a classy-looking establishment advertising the best broodjes in Den Haag. Le Mano also sells bags of coffee which you can buy ground or not ground. Quite the grinder too!

The coffee came with a glass of water and some chocolate-coated coffee beans. Yum!! The coffee - in a word "ok", but the milk was just not there.. Again, nothing special but nice enough to tempt you to go back for a second try.

In a phrase: seconds?... it might be worth a try.

For one of the more expensive cups of coffee, we had hoped for something worth drinking. Mockamore, if you’re not already familiar, is another coffee chain. Looks good, funky interior, but… below standard coffee.

Again the alarm bells started ringing even before we got our coffees. An amazingly large jug of milk, already frothed from a previous occasion, was reworked for ours. Shame.

On drinking the coffees, they were disappointing. Drinkable, though not enjoyable. The milk was terrible as expected. The only really decent thing about the coffee were the pieces of chocolate that came with it.

In a phrase: disappointingly under par.

A cool looking place with plenty of potential. Sadly, the only good thing about it were the seats in the sun. Always a bad sign when the guy making coffee leaves the milk to boil while he finds something else to do! Aaarrggh!

We ordered 2 Cappucino's. We got a pile of dishwasher-like froth piled on top of 30 mls of very, very disappointingly not nice tasting, dirty colured water. That's only one visit and this is a harsh review, but to be honest it would be hard to even think of parting with 2.20 again at that place.

In a phrase: definately a coffee to forget.

Kaldi is filled with everything coffee. Whatever you need for making the goodness at home is here: espresso machines, tamps, grinders, accessories, coffee and more. There's a couple of bar tables inside amongst it all or a courtyard full of tables outside. A nice vibe.

As for the coffee, it was once again average. Drinkable, the milk was good but still a little bubbly, but the place was nice enough to probably go back if we were near there again. Even if it was just to sit amongst all the coffee accessories.

In a phrase: cool vibe.

In a phrase: can be good.

Dishy is located in a paved alley lined with retail shops in the centre of The Hague. A smaller shop, looking more like an espresso bar than a cafe, it has both an inside seating area of bars and table seating outside in front of the shop in the alley. It's a nice place to watch the crowds go by. The coffee is made super fast, you'll have only counted your change out before your coffee has been served up.

The coffee: probably the best coffee we've had in The Hague, however the quality hasn't been consistent on our re-visits, some have tasted a little below average. The milk is smoothish (not silky but not bubbly).

In a phrase: reliably ok.

We have been to Crunch a few times now, each time has produced a decent cup of coffee. The feel of the cafe is nice and relaxed and the service friendly. There are plenty of people reading magazines, newspapers, and their laptops. Inside and outside seating as well. We ordered 2 cappucino's. On arrival the presentation is a nice surprise. The coffee comes on an oval shaped wooden tray with a small glass of water and a piece of slice. A nice surprise when you're only expecting coffee.

Back to the coffee... the coffee was better than most, not great enough to drag people to the cafe just to try it but good enough to go back to when you just want a decent cup of coffee and a chilled out atmosphere. In short: the shot was average and the milk a little too bubbly, but decent.

Welcome to lekker-coffee!!

We are coffee lovers from Australia who have recently moved to The Hague, Netherlands. Through this blog we want to share and hear from other coffee geeks from around the continent, especially The Netherlands, and especially (for our enjoyment) The Hague, about the best coffee's you've had.

We called the blog lekker as "lekker" (our dictionary says) is a Dutch word meaning "good; nice, enjoyable, delicious, tasty" (well hopefully that's a good translation - sorry Dutch folk if its not), and we like LEKKER coffee!!
